Crocheting

I learned how to crochet originally from my mom. She used to crochet all the time: making blankets for family, friends, and of course babies. Crocheting is fairly easy once you practice it. You can make blankets, scarfs, hats, baby shoes, bags…pretty much anything you can think of. There are so many patterns: simple, complex, straight, chevron, and even designs such as flowers, butterflies, and snowflakes.
